This piece is dramatic and very dynamic; in the beginning and towards the end the music is soft and tender, but it is punctuated by aggressive changes in volume and minor chords throughout. This piece could work well to depict grief, as the emotions and feelings are similarly mercurial. Composed by Erik Satie.

Elegant and slightly dark, the simplicity of the piano melody is light and touching, with a feeling of pensive restraint. It is beautiful accompaniment to the close of a drama, or of a midday reverie. Composed by Erik Satie.

"Procession of the King"

Instruments: Strings

Feel: Intense, Uplifting

A strings only piece, evocative of love, romance, and pride. Just before the one minute mark the music takes an unexpected turn, becoming intensely emotional and beautiful as the strings play in the higher register with a slight tremolo, with the bass filling up the empty space in the last half minute.

Percussion beats and shakers instantly make your feet tap, involving you in the tribal experience of ritual kinship. Three sets of call-and-response chanting slide into the forefront of the beat, interspersed with rapid djembe solos to the ending when the dust finally settles. This piece of music is available in an uncompressed format here.

Slow Waltz. English Waltz. Foxtrot. Slow Fox. The piano plays a mournful, waltzing melody, while strings enter gently. Halfway into the second minute, the tone is more hopeful, but then returns to the sadness of the introduction. Just before the third minute ends the hope returns, but melts again into sadness with the final high note of the piano. This is music for a rainy day, or when the hero to a story has lost his way.

Acoustic guitars play a constantly flowing feel-good melody, enhanced by an airy chorus that enters early in the piece. The music is bright and evokes a carefree attitude towards life and the troubles of the world.

The koto in this piece follows a steady, plodding beat, while the orchestral strings provide a drone-like background. At 0:33 the strings crescendo to follow the melody of the koto, but at 1:18 the tempo slows and the strings fade away, only to return to highlight the final chord. With the even rhythm and the sharply accentuated plucks of the koto, this is best used as an introduction to a short film or game, or the resolution to a conflict surrounding family or challenges to tradition.
